Sedge Warbler

This is by far the most hardest Bird i have tried to capture with a camera ,hand held in a hide at Attenbouorgh nature reserve near Nottingham ,it would not keep still and flew of every time i moved the camera .I was in good light outside the hide and bad light inside the hide so i was indecisive as what the settings should be ,so i went with an ISO400 at F6.3 so the lens was fairly open and a shutter speed of 1/640th at 400m
 As you can see there was far to much going on all around the Bird and it was very difficult to get a clear shot of the Bird in open view.

This is possibly the  best of a bad bunch but with Wildlife and Birds you can not tell what will happen next and so trying to get a shot at some of the subjects can sometimes be disappointing but i will try again as they are here for the summer months from Africa.

  1. Hi
    I was wondering when you would get onto the more secretive african warblers. These birds are often hidden skulking in reeds of bushes and getting a clear shot can be very difficult.
